Bolshoi Ballet: La Sylphide

2012 · 120 min

A staged classical ballet that unfolds with airy grace, sweeping you into a wistful romantic dream tinged with longing and quiet heartbreak.

Overview
On his wedding day, the young Scotsman James is awakened with a kiss from an ethereal winged creature, a Sylph. Entranced by her beauty, James risks everything to pursue an unattainable love. La Sylphide is one of the world’s oldest surviving ballets, and a treasure in Danish ballet master August Bournonville’s style. Staged for the Bolshoi by Bournonville expert Johan Kobborg, this production is the ultimate romantic masterpiece. Captured live from the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow.
